Ibanez Identification Help - RGT42DX and RGT6EX

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hi guys
hows it going?!?!
im Planning on selling me newest acquisition, the Dean Vendetta 4.o. i just didnt like the feel of the fixed Bridge, but loved the neck through design. the fact that the body is chambered is also something that made me quite unhappy. Q: ((( BUt this is the very first time i try a neck thru guitar . so im definitely looking forward to a neck thru construction in my next guitar.

IM looking at these 2 guitars here in brazilian EBAY but i checked the serial numbers on the ibanez dater project and they dont EVEN Show UP there. so that makes me worried about getting a fake guitar

could you guys shed some infos and light upon these two guitars? i mean the fact that they are original OR NOT.
Let me know, heres the links

The pictures look pretty convincing. Not sure about the serial numbers, but 2006 is the right timeframe for that instrument. And I have seen the EMG model around here as well.

I will say, the RGT is a great instrument. I have three of them now. Love the neck-through for its sustain. These are monsters if you tune down.

Here are some pictures of one of my RGT42DX's which looks a lot like the first one you linked right down to the hardware:

Yes, I think all of these were mahogany.

I have not played one with EMG's, but I think it would be a good platform for them. I only have one guitar with active pickups in it; not really my cup of tea, personally. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I am looking forward to your NGD thread!

according to this http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RGT42DX and this http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RGT6EX
the one i choose, RGT6EX seems to embody a BASSWOOD Body. what i wanted to avoid. Cause i love the feel of mahogany body, BUt i will also avoid CHAMBERED bodies. even though they are MAHOGANY. but the tone is a bit weird for me. i preffer a solid construction .

No matter what you choose, the core of the body is maple+walnut laminate. The wings' effect on tone is less pronounced, compared to a full body of a bolt on or set neck guitar.
